Happy Valentine’s Day

C Major Completely Pure. Its character is: innocence, simplicity, naïvety, children’s talk.

C Minor Declaration of love and at the same time the lament of unhappy love. All languishing, longing, sighing of the love-sick soul lies in this key.

Db Major A leering key, degenerating into grief and rapture. It cannot laugh, but it can smile; it cannot howl, but it can at least grimace its crying.–Consequently only unusual characters and feelings can be brought out in this key.

C# Minor Penitential lamentation, intimate conversation with God, the friend and help-meet of life; sighs of disappointed friendship and love lie in its radius.

D Major The key of triumph, of Hallelujahs, of war-cries, of victory-rejoicing. Thus, the inviting symphonies, the marches, holiday songs and heaven-rejoicing choruses are set in this key.

D Minor Melancholy womanliness, the spleen and humours brood.

Eb Major

The key of love, of devotion, of intimate conversation with God.

D# Minor Feelings of the anxiety of the soul’s deepest distress, of brooding despair, of blackest depression, of the most gloomy condition of the soul. Every fear, every hesitation of the shuddering heart, breathes out of horrible D# minor. If ghosts could speak, their speech would approximate this key.

E Major Noisy shouts of joy, laughing pleasure and not yet complete, full delight lies in E Major.

E minor Naïve, womanly innocent declaration of love, lament without grumbling; sighs accompanied by few tears; this key speaks of the imminent hope of resolving in the pure happiness of C major.

F Major Complaisance & Calm.

F Minor

Deep depression, funereal lament, groans of misery and longing for the grave.

F# Major Triumph over difficulty, free sigh of relief uttered when hurdles are surmounted; echo of a soul which has fiercely struggled and finally conquered lies in all uses of this key.

F# Minor A gloomy key: it tugs at passion as a dog biting a dress. Resentment and discontent are its language.

G Major  Everything rustic, idyllic and lyrical, every calm and satisfied passion, every tender gratitude for true friendship and faithful love,–in a word every gentle and peaceful emotion of the heart is correctly expressed by this key.

G Minor  Discontent, uneasiness, worry about a failed scheme; bad-tempered gnashing of teeth; in a word: resentment and dislike.

Ab Major  Key of the grave. Death, grave, putrefaction, judgment, eternity lie in its radius.

Ab Minor  Grumbler, heart squeezed until it suffocates; wailing lament, difficult struggle; in a word, the color of this key is everything struggling with difficulty.

A Major  This key includes declarations of innocent love, satisfaction with one’s state of affairs; hope of seeing one’s beloved again when parting; youthful cheerfulness and trust in God.

A Minor  Pious womanliness and tenderness of character.

Bb Major  Cheerful love, clear conscience, hope aspiration for a better world.

Bb Minor A quaint creature, often dressed in the garment of night. It is somewhat surly and very seldom takes on a pleasant countenance. Mocking God and the world; discontented with itself and with everything; preparation for suicide sounds in this key.

B Major  Strongly coloured, announcing wild passions, composed from the most glaring colours. Anger, rage, jealousy, fury, despair and every burden of the heart lies in its sphere.

B Minor  This is as it were the key of patience, of calm awaiting ones’s fate and of submission to divine dispensation.

Boys have already been taught not to stare or touch.

You know what? As far as the staring is concerned anyway, it’s really hard to do.

Even if the pretty breasts are so covered up that all you can see is that there some kind of a bump around the chest area.

Almost all males, boys especially, are dealing with a series of hormonal and instinctive impulses that instruct them to be sexually assertive on one level or another. This in a social climate that expressly forbids male sexual assertion outside of highly formalized and restricted settings and behaviors.

If you expect them to have the self-control and willpower to ignore your body, you need to have a level of regard for their efforts.

A major part of that is having enough compassion and respect for the boys in your class to avoid making it really hard on them.

Wearing clothing that serves to accentuate or reveal the sexuality of your body tends to exceed the average young man’s capacity for self-denial.

So, when there is a rule made that you cannot wear revealing clothing, that is a compromise made between boys and girls, a kind of midpoint between you doing whatever you want(dressing however), and the boys doing whatever they want(not having their sexuality policed).

It is not, however, a one sided rule, meant only to oppress you.

It is actually a rule meant to protect the boys from you.

They lose when you are so captivating that they cannot concentrate on the lecture.

They lose when you complain to the staff, or other students about their poorly hidden interest.

They lose when you behave as if your vanity is more important than their dignity.

And most of all, they lose when you treat them as a mere background to your ever so important and feminine life.
